I did remove most of the warp by heat shrinking the monokote. It took most but not all of the warp out. The elevator wsa my first covering attempt and ended up with a few bubbles that I took out with a pin. The woodpecker and patience made the rest of the job turn out not so bad for a first attempt. Am looking forward to starting ym next project, a Tiger .60 and working with my son to build his Something extra.
